About the Monastery...

The ill guided adventures of a burned out hooligan as he builds weird choppers and bakes delicious desserts. Along the way, he meets a stunning cast of characters and has adventures in motorcycles, cooking, and machine tools. Will he find salvation? Will he find the question to the ultimate answer? Who knows, but stay tuned...someone might get drunk and spill the beans.
